Do woodpeckers like maple trees?

Answer by  Bugturk (97)

It's not the TREE; it's the insects. Woodpeckers eat insects that bore beneath the bark. They only peck at infested trees. Maples don't have many wood-boring pests.

I'm afraid that woodpeckers do like maple trees. I'm not really sure what they don't like, but an oak tree might be too hard for its beak. Worth a try.

No doubt, woodpeckers like maple trees. In fact, it is not the tree they like. They are after the insects in the tree.
